I think that there's a lot of that back-planning happening ALL THE TIME. I do a lot of that in my head too -- and in my notes -- themes, motivations, desires, fears, full backstories for supporting characters that might never make it into the primary manuscript but make me looooove them...
The advice that each "on writing" writing book I've studied to get my thing off the ground has said: write it, edit it later. All of those notes and all of those things that make it WHOLE can come from three or five or ten edits of the thing at your own leisure.
Less pressure. When there are words to work with, you're got something to build on.
